These are said to amount to $7,000 or $3,000 In the aggregate. E. M. Vr'estervelt Is In possession , under a chattel mortgage , which Is said to he ( or onlr $500. Today Thomas Halley , one of Cockrcll's customers , began suit In attachment In dis trict court against him for $2,387.50 , alleg ing that defendant had left the county and concealed hlmtclf to avoid scrvlc * of sum mons , and that he had removed his property to defraud his creditors. Process was ac cordingly Issued carnlsheclng the American National Exchange bank , where Coclcrcll had a small deposit , and another Issued for Wcs- tervelt , who holds the chattel mortgage , but the latter was not found In the city. An attachment was also Issued for Cockrell'a race stock out at the fair grounds. Before It was served It was learned that County Com- mlssoncr Mller had a chatt-1 mortgage on the stock. Cockrell says his Omaha house did little business during last Saturday's fluctua tions , and he hits settled his obligations dollar lar for dollar. Ilolh houses are closed with a good prospect of remaining so , although he thinks he may In tlmo reopen. He says he has claims against customers aggregating something like $17,000 , from which he expects to realize very little , as It Is almost tmpos- Bible to collect a debt on an option deal. Cockrell has gouo through several financial crises and come out on top. Three years ago he had a balance of $30.000 to his credit In Lincoln banks. That Is all gone.

MERE SLEEP THE BRAVE Memories Awakened by the Twenty-Seventh Annivortaiy of Decoration Day , ITS FIRST FORMAL OBSERVANCE ot ( he Variant Crtnrtrrlcs In Chnree ot the National ( loTrrninent Ntimlieri ot Dead Allioec Urstlae I'luco the Government Ounnls. Tomorrow li the twenty-seventh anniver sary ot the official designation ot Memorial or Decoration day. It was General John A. Logan , then commander In chief ot thi Grand Army , who Issued the first order dedi cating May 30 , 18CS. as a day to be observed "by strewing flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died In defens : of their country during the late rebellion , and whose bodies now lie In almost every city , village ] hamlet and churchyard In the land. In this observance no form of csremony Is prescribed , hut posts and comrades will , In their own way , arrange such fitting services and testimonials ot respect as circumstances will permit. Let us , then , at the time ap pointed , " wrote General Logan , "gather around their sacred remains and garland the pas sionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of springtime ; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor ; let us In this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they left among us , a sacred charge upon a nation's gratitude the soldiers' and sailors' widow and orphan. " OAUFIELD AT ARLINGTON. The order met with a cordial response In the hearts of tbo people and the observance even at that period was qulto general. The occasion was a memorable one , particularly so at Arlington , where the ceremonies were most Imposing. General Logan's order was read to the hushed and waiting crowds , prayer was offered by Dr. Byron Sunderland and the oration was delivered by Hon. James A. GnrfielJk afterward president ol the United States , himself dying a martyr' : death. Ho quoted Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" with a most reverential fooling. Some of bin sentence ! were Inspired with dramatic force. He- said "As the traveler descends the Appenlnes e sees the dome of St. Peter's rising above lie- desolate Cnmpagna and the dead city > ng before the seven hills and ruined pal- ces appear to bis view. The fame of tht ead fisherman has outlived the glory of the iternal City. A noble llfo crowned will eroio death rises above and outlives the ride and pomp and glory of the mlghtlesi mplro of the earth. I love to believe thai o heroic sacrificeis ever lost ; that tlu laracters of men are molded and Inspires iy what their fathers have done ; that treas ired up In American souls are all the un : onsclous Influences of the great deeds o no Anglo-Saxon race , from Aglncourt t ( unker Hill. With such Inspiration falluri as impossible. " The beautiful custom has become nation fide with the passing years and ranks will ndependence day In the affections of th icople. Nor is it confined to the soldier deai .lone. . The generation which has come Inti .ction slnco the closing of the war vies -will he participants In the terrible struggle Ii lonorlng the memories of the men whos .erolc . devotion preserved the heritage the : njoy. There are few families without ni .mpty chair at the hearthstone , a hallowei nount on the hillside. The cares and strug les of life , mayhap , prevent the living fron living proper attention to the graves of thos the have gone before. The coming of Me norlal day arouses the dormant memories o ho loved and lost , and turn footsteps ceme cry-ward , recruiting the depleted ranks c Jio soldiers and combining patriotic sentl ; nent with the ties of family. WHEItC ItnST THE DEAD. Much has been done by the national gov jrnment to honor the memory of the me who fought for Its preservation and to fos .or the patriotic spirit that animated then Eighty-three national cemeteries , contain ng 330,700 honored dead , have been -estat .Ished by the government. Every Indlvldu : grave is marked by a stone tablet of granlt jr marble. The private cemeteries , wher .hrongs will assemble on Thursday , ma .eem . fair and delectable , but still fairer tha Jicy are the "national cemeteries. Treasur has been spent without stint to make thei i\hat they should bo nnd are the simples and yet grandest nnd lovlest God's-acres 1 .ho world , lavishly adorned by nature , pel ectod by art , and guarded over by the starr Hag. There the sun shines softest , the gras grows greenest , the flowers bloom brlghtes the trees spread most luxuriantly. N weeds or brambles or thistles are suffere o enter there. The very atmosphere aroun them is sacred , and the sympathetic visile may fancy a halo hovering over them ; fe n them rest exclusively the heroes wt died in the cause of freedom. On the battlefields where the union armli won the Interments were so conscientious ! made that over 90 per cent of the dead wei afterward identified. Where time permlttt the confederate dead were also religious ! burled and their graves marked as careful ! as those of their federal antagonists. On tl fields where the union armies were defeate nnd driven off the enemy cared little for tl fallen except to get them out of the way ar under ground with the least expenditure i tlmo and trouble. In most of the southei prisons the union dead were burled and the ; raves marked I y their living comrales , ofte under the most adverse and trying clrcun stances. The result of that admirable syste has been that the mortuary record of tl union armies In the war of the rcbcllk excels In completeness by long odds v similar records ever before known. MELANCHOLY STATISTICS. By the end of the year 1SCS seventy-two theto national cemeteries had been foundi at great expewe , and In them , In conne tlon with 820 local cemeteries In varloi places , the government assumed charge 310,233 graves. Of these the names of 175,7 had been preserved and were indicated on t ! headstones. Concerning the remaining 14 ( 4G9 , It Is alone certain that they died fightii In the union armies , and the only Inscrlptli that could bo placed over them was "U known United States Soldiers. " Of the who number then gathered Into these cemeterl less than one-fifth reposed In their origin graves , and these lay on battlefields who union victory Insured their careful Inte ment. and which afterward happened become the sites of tl.e cemeteries. Mo than four-fifths were removed from the TO trenches of the battlefields at some dl tance , or from their roadside graves , from hospital burial plats. Since 1SG3 till teen additional national cemeteries lia been established , with 14,459 more gravi making to date eighty-three In all , with . aggregate sleeping population , by nctti count , of 330,002. Five of these contain t remains of soldiers other than those engag In the war for the union one being local near the City of Mexico , and four olhe being used solely as attachments to front ! military posts In the wesl. One of these ot exceptionally sad Interest thai on t Custer battlefield In Montana , where in lie the bones of 918 regulars , over 300 whom were massacred In 17G by Sltli Bull and his rampant Sioux , In recent yea by provision of law , the interment of a honorably discharged union soldier may secured In a national cemetery upon apr cation lo Iho proper authorities. Bui su Interments nowadays are not numerous , a comparatively few of the national cemeter receive additional Interments al this da On the other hand , the friends of the c ceased are constantly having bodies reinov from the national cemeteries to private bi lal places , so that the total number graves under the care of the governme changes but little from year to year. FAMED ARLINGTON. The moat beautiful ot all the natloi cemeteries and the greatest as regards t number ot Identified dead Is thai on Arllngt Heights , near Washington. U contains 10 , ! Interments 12,216 known and 4,349 unknov Its location , overlooking the Potomac and rectly facing the capital , is perhaps the fin In the world. As the years glide away a coming centuries usher into life millions human beings Arlington ihall be a mi for the unalterable principles of truth , a around Its undulating vales and green h oeks the splrll cf love and loyalty shall kn at the vespers of nationality and swing p fumed censers at the holy shrine of pra ; and patriotism. Monument * of marble , granite and brci lift their modest or | prntentlous heads , ap pealing to the memory cf these who wander near the Jowly b d Shirc valor sleep * , but when these emblerrM' ' 61 love and remem brance have crumllcii.lnto ) Impalpable dust the truth for which thty , died shall shine out like the rising tun atid bj as lasting as eternity. 11 ' No grounds are flrjtrjor better kept than the sovenlecn acres of Gettysburg cemetery. There are l.OSO labeled graves and 1,612 nameless , yet each a hears a marble head stone at the end. , The martyred Lincoln participated In the ceremonies attending the formal consecration of'Vho ' place on Novem ber 19. 1863. and thWe his Immortal words , uttered on that supremp occasion , arc fitly cut on Ihe pedestal of the government monument ment In Imperishable granite : "L t us hero highly resohc that these dead shall not have died In vain ; that the nation shall , under God , have n now birth of freedom , and that the government of the people , by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. " Other splendid and noble monumenta abound , but none are moro highly admired. But the biggest national cemetery In point of population Is the Vlcksburg , where 16,633 heroes sleep , gathered from the scattered graves about the union lines at Vlcksburg and from neighboring fields and hospitals. Of these the known number Is 3,913 nnd the unknown 12.720. The Nashville cemetery comes close to It In number of dead , having 16,546 sleepers , taken from hospitals nnd outlying battlefields , with a much smaller proportion of unknown. TUB NAMELESS DEAD. But Frederlcksburg cemetery , which ranks nexl lo Nashville in number of deaJ , Is greatest and moel melancholy of all In the number of Its unknown. Of the total 15,274 soldiers burled here , 12,786 an enormous proportion arc nameless. The cemetery oc cupies Marye's Heights , the celebrate ! In trenched position held by Lee when Burn- side's ttoops chaiged and recharged against II in vain with such dreadful mortality. Under there clrcumalances the union dead remained where they fell , nnd Idenllflcatlon and burial by their comrades were Impossi ble. Hither also were borne many bodies from the Wilderness and Chanccllorsvllle. The VIeksburg cemetery stands second to Fredericksburg In the number of Its un known slcepcH , and next Is the mournful In- closure at Salisbury. N. C. . the site of the old confederate prison pen. where , out of a tolal of 12,137 Interments , all but 102 are unknown. When the place fell Into union hands the dead were found piled promiscu ously In eighteen trenches , each 240 feet long. These were opened and the bogles ten derly relnterrcd In an orderly manner. The Memphis cemetery contains 13,984 graves 5,166 known and 8,818 unknown col lected from the camps and hospitals around Memphis and from Island No. 10 , Fort Pil low ani minor places. The Andersonvllle , Ga. , cemetery , the companion Institution to Salisbury , contains the bonca of 13,702 pris on-pen victims , whose names , happily , are all known save 923. Fortunately.
